It depends on model year and fan options.
Measure your space, and buy the biggest one you can.

Look at the area in front of the condensor. Measure the free height and width and start looking in the catalogues for something that will fit within your measurements.

I'm using the B&M 70268 on my 95 11" X 7" X .75" "plate" type has made a 40* difference.

Does it look like you have more room to play with ?

Yes, but (1) this is more than adequate to take care of the heat generated by my high stall tc and (2) I don't track the car so I still want the ac to work reasonably well also so I don't want to cover the entire condensor.

You might try making several cardboard templates that are 1" thick an see how much room you have. B&M makes them in many different sizes.
